Four hour agile subcommittee meeting

Don't know whether to file this under "what happens when something becomes a buzzword", "people who don't get it", or "baby steps, baby steps", but today at standup (for an organization not traditionally agile, but whose avowed intention is to become agile), someone casually mentioned the words "four hour agile subcommittee meeting". It is one of the most wonderfully oxymoronic phrases I've heard in a while.

About Me

Jim Kingdon has been test-infected since the 1990s, pair programming (when he can) since around 2002, dragged into processes and planning (when he isn't smart enough to stay out of it), doing ruby on rails since 2007, and in general doing what has become known as agile software development.
